Forgive me if I've posted this before. I can't remember anything these days.

This is my 1962 Rudge 3-speed. I ride it daily to do errands, visit clients, etc. It's mostly original, including the saddle. I replaced the 18T sprocket with a 22T sprocket, lowering the gears. Very nice.

What a great old bike. Like an old friend.

My ever-evolving commuter:

Looks better with fenders IMO. Too bad PB's "unbreakable" fenders actually break. :mad:

Like the look of this...How are the panniers?

Got some new shallow drop bars that I really love, the old ones brought me down too far and I didn't like the bend to them, now she's just sitting at work waiting to go for a ride:)

I know this thread is for pics,I do hope you enjoy the video.
The bag is also expandable and I can store either chain in different places on the bike if I need more room in the bag to haul stuff(s)....

This is a 2004 (or so) Trek 7200. The original parts are front wheel, derailleurs, shifters, bottom bracket, cranks and hubs. Considering that Alivio is at the cheaper end of Shimano derailleurs (I think), I've been really happy with how they've worked. They've lived through a bunch of falls and stuff, and they still work perfectly. The seat is my only Brooks saddle, and I totally love it! I've heard people mention a break-in period for those, but I found it really comfortable from the first ride. The original fork was suspension, but I recently replaced it with a steel Surly fork, and it makes the bike much more enjoyable to ride-- I should have done that sooner! The touring handlebars are cheap, Uno brand. I think they're upside down, but it makes more sense this way to me. There are three really comfortable hand positions, and even a stretched out position with elbows resting on the bars. I don't particularly like the twist shifters, but they still work, so they're still there. The big saddle bag is by banjo brothers, and the red panniers are Novara, bought used on Ebay. Anyways, I'm pretty happy with the current setup-- I think it's a good compromise between comfortable, durable and fast.

Good idea protecting that bag with your helmet.

Thanks, I think I got it. I had a hard time finding the right URL to insert. I had to go to the picture in Flickr, click on Actions, select "Grab the HTML/BBCode", then find the <img> tag and copy the URL out of the src attribute, e.g,. <img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6133/...a2178f9a4d.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="P1110585">

' had to do some cyclocross moves on my route today.

My current steed. I love this bike more every time I ride it, and it has become my go-to commuter since I got it. I just got done with a 50-miler today, and I couldn't feel better!

Hi, thinking bout getting the same frame. Can you tell me about the "minor hiccups" concerning the frame. Thanks.

My new build started life as an original 1992 Schwinn Crosscut. The only things still original are the frameset, derailleurs and cranks. Really happy with it.

Awesome craigslist find, that frame is in beautiful condition. Looks like a nice ride

Bikes dependent on mood:

In the cube garage: Cervelo RS w/ Rival Gruppo. (by far not the most expensive bike in the "garage"- the bike storage cubicle - most days)

I can't get over how classy this bike looks. Excellent build! What bars are those? Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or is the rear wheel larger than the front? I'd love to see a side profile shot.

Looks like a fine scoot to me.
